My dove, my darling,
what I'm saying,
my angel, is...I love you.
—Alexander Pushkin

Adul

The next evening we sat together upstairs in a doll room. The windows were sealed shut only allowing the view of an indigo dark night and a luminous moon that brought comfort to us all.

Our limbs were folded as we surrounded each other in a circular pattern. I rested my hand on the fluffy rose colored rug that I sat on top of as Irving spoke.

"I don't understand it being with him was the only thing that got me through and now since Taehyung is having his petty fits he's separating us" She sadly slumped over as her strawberry hair hung loose.

"I'm sure you'll see him soon he loves you ... he won't let Taehyung do this." Marisol exclaimed.

I sighed as I looked towards my hands. Out of everything that Irving had gone through being separated from Yoongi could not be the worst.

"Taehyung has a reason though." I objected.

"And what would that be?" Irving questioned abruptly

"Right now he's in trouble financially and due to that he's making sacrifices, he told me there will be no escorting for a while that's why he's separating you from Yoongi."

"And Jimin?" Gladyce questioned.

"Jimin is dead." I whispered as a gasp came from her mouth. "Taehyung killed him..." I frowned as I thought about the blood seeped into his shirt sleeve. I imagined Darla forcefully scrubbing out the familiar crimson stain as she's done multiple times before.

" Well, that has nothing to do with Yoongi and I," Irving stated as she stared me down. I quickly turned my head to face her direction. "You think he was simply in it for the sex? No, we loved each other and Taehyung can not control us."

"Irving... he doesn't love you," Genevieve whispered her green eyes filled with pity for her beloved friend. "He snuck you around in hotel rooms he did not even bring you to his home you were kept in secret." she continued.

"You're all pathetic really," Irving spoke with teary eyes."Just because you can't have anything nice doesn't mean you should hate the ones who do." she laughed sarcastically while rolling her eyes. Unraveling her limbs she quickly walked passed us slamming the door behind her.

The silence filled the room as Cassidy rocked in the wooden chair. Her legs crisscrossed as she looked down. The lines drawn between her brows portrayed her face in deep thought.

"I had an idea..." she spoke, "Tonight, I'm gonna try to escape."

"Wait how!?" Genevieve whispered, "Taehyung has this place guarded there's no way you'll make it out of here."

Cassidy's eyes shifted from the floor to me. "Adul, you're the only one that Taehyung allows in his room. You can distract him... While Gladyce and I make a run for it. I refuse to wait for his decisions anymore... he could decide anything and the last thing would be to let us go."

"Well—" I started thinking about dangerous possibilities that could happen. She could be caught and another life could be taken at my sake.

"Please Adul... I miss my family so much... and when we succeed we'll simply have him arrested and we could all be free." she begged I felt a softness in my chest thinking of the chance of freedom for us all. The thought of leaving this horrid place behind and being free.

"Okay... tonight I'll try to distract him and you can escape." I agreed.

"Cass! I don't want to do it!" Gladyce scolded she sat on the bed with a weary expression.

"What do you mean you don't want to do it!?" Cassidy exclaimed.

"We can wait and see if he ever lets us go maybe he'll change his mind and no one gets hurt." she reasoned.

"Can't you see he's a madman. Adul just told us he murdered his own friend! What makes you think we won't be next!? We do everything together it's no time to change that you're either in or out." Cassidy argued.

The two bickered in the room as Glaydce's honey eyes softened. She slumped over as she stared into her lap knowing there was nothing she could possibly do to prevent her sister from her plan. She took a deep breath as her words came out shakily.

"If you make it... tell mom and dad I love them." she softly spoke.

Taehyung

I sat on the edge of the bed with my hands intertwined looking towards the ground. My mind flooded with the thought of losing everything I worked so hard to achieve as my eyebrows furrowed in frustration.

I had always been a hard working man ever since I was brought up by Namjoon. He was like a father figure to me, showing me the ropes of the industry but I've lost much of my adolescence due to him.

The sound of the bathroom door creaking disrupted my thoughts as I saw her bare feet in front of me. She walked quietly forward as her glossed tan legs stood still. Glancing up she was covered in her pink silk robe while her eyes glistened.

"Ready for bed?" My voice cracked as I spoke nervously only she had power over me like this.

"I suppose," she shrugged, she walked closer to me as she sat beside me resting her hand on my thigh. "I want to do something more though." she suggested making my eyes widen.

"You don't mean—"

"I want you to touch me Taehyung..." she demanded she pulled my hand towards her delicate bare chest as we made eye contact.

Pulling her closer I connected our lips as I brought my hand to cusp the back of her head. I closed my eyes gently as I smelled her sweet scent under my nose.

Her breath was subtle as I slightly bit on her bottom lip allowing her to gasp for air. I took the chance as our tongues fought against each other. I felt her delicate hand push against my chest as I backed away softly searching her expression with worried eyes.

"What's wrong?" I questioned as she slowly pushed her body back towards the bed. Her robe slightly rising above her thighs as they glistened from the light of the lamp.

"Please take me." She whispered desperately I climbed further back on the bed as my body hovered over hers.

"I promise I won't hurt you." I confirmed as I removed the silk robe revealing her flawless skin. I began to attack gently at her collarbone leaving sweet pink and purple marks to replace the one I did before.

She brushed the palm of her hands against my tan chest as she opened her legs slightly hinting me to come in. I kneeled down between her legs as my tongue attacked her clit.

She moaned quietly as she arched her back. I focused on replacing all negative memories from our first experience with loving ones as I left small kisses between her thighs.

I lined my member in front of her entrance as it laid swole in my hand. Pushing myself in slowly I felt her throbbing warm clit pulsate as I gasped. Pushing myself in and out.

"God, you're tight Adul," I whispered as I continued to thrust into her. She placed both of her hands on my chest as her big brown eyes looked deeply into mine.

"Fuck me." She panted softly enabling me to thrust more quickly. I took one hand as I rested on her hip and the other massaged her breast rubbing her erect nipples between my fingers.

Finally coming to my climax I pulled out as I lied beside her. Both of us panting for air as the sweat glistened on our bodies.

"I love you." I spoke as she gently turned to her side and didn't respond. I felt an anger in my being at her silence.

Why doesn't she love me yet?

Why didn't she say it back?

Turning to my side I waited until hearing her soft breathing to pull the duvet over her body as she rested. Pulling on my jeans and a shirt on my bare torso I slowly stood as I left the premises.

Opening the door I walked towards the pond as I pulled a cigarette from my back pocket setting it alight as I glared deeply at the yellow moon. Hearing quiet steps I quickly checked the time on my watch to confirm their arrival.

"Is it all done?" I questioned as I felt their presence behind me.

"Yes sir and all cleaned up." she confirmed, I turned to glance at her appearance, today her hair was released from its normal attire. She looked like the woman I've known long ago.

"How did you do it?" I wondered as I blew out the smoke. Handing me a ceramic mug I smirked at the tactic. The smell of the remaining milk gathered at the bottom of the mixture. A bit more careful and less bloody than what I would normally do but all is well.

"She lasted longer than I thought she would. Clever girl but not enough to not drink the tea." she laughed.

I pictured her body covered in red spots, gasping for oxygen as her airways closed. Such a horrid way to die. "Did you at least give her a head start?" I questioned.

She walked towards me as her arm reached around mine she rested her head on my shoulder as she frowned.

"You were with her tonight again weren't you sir?" she questioned with wide eyes. The clear liquid brimming her orbs as she searched for my response.

"You did not answer my question did you give her a head start?" I retorted, she knew I no longer had feelings for what once was. I pulled my arm out of her grasp as she groaned.

"I thought the tea would fuel her energy consider it a goodbye gift."

I removed the cigarette bud from my lips as I furrowed my eyebrows. "Very well then... goodbye Cassidy."
